Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

Chapter 24 Tongtian Kun and a Short Story

Unlike the Wanshou Gate, Baicao Garden is more like a city in ancient feudal society.

Most of the pedestrians on the bluestone-paved streets were wearing ancient costumes, and only a few monks with great accomplishments wore robes with spiritual light.

The teleportation array is located at the Baicao Peak's base in Baicao Garden. As soon as you go out the door, you will see the "commercial street". Both sides are lined with shops selling elixirs, spiritual weapons, spiritual beasts, robes, etc.

Lin Jiu took a deep breath and said, "It's still more comfortable outside."

"Brother Chen, the outside world is much more interesting than the sect, but the Hundred Herb Garden is too close to the sect, so it's still a little off. I'll take you to have some fun when we get to Baizhuo Immortal City."

"The next flight, Tongtian Kun, will take off in two hours. We should get to the dock as soon as possible." Zhen Yan said coldly.

"Oh, is it such a coincidence?" Lin Jiu scratched his hair in surprise.

"The sect's missions are all scheduled to depart based on the nearest flights." Zhen Yan ruthlessly exposed this coincidence.

With Zhen Yan, the king of silence, around, Lin Jiu, who was always talkative, also shut up. The three of them mobilized their magic power and quickened their pace. After all, flying is basically not allowed in the fairy city, except for immortals.

The name of Baicao Garden sounds sloppy, but it is indeed a fairy city, and the largest fairy city directly under the name of Baicao Peak.

Therefore, its dock is also extremely wide. Anyway, Chen Jiuge couldn't tell how big it was.
Its huge body stretches for thousands of miles, like a huge piece of land floating on the sea. Its dark blue skin has a metallic luster, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.

It has a huge and strong head, and two eyes as bright as the sun and the moon, sparkling with wisdom.

The air waves that spew out dozens of feet high with each breath are breathtaking. The two tentacles that are hundreds of feet long beside its mouth flutter in the wind, looking very majestic. Its dorsal fin is like a mountain, towering tall, and its tail fin is like a rushing river, surging and turbulent.

The first time Chen Jiuge saw Kun, an old saying came to his mind:
"There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don't know how many miles it is; when it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. The back of the Peng is so big that I don't know its thousands of miles; when it flies in anger, its wings are as big as The clouds hanging from the sky.”

"How about it? Spectacular, right?" Lin Jiu seemed to enjoy seeing his junior fellow apprentice's shocked expression.

"Spectacular." Chen Jiuge swallowed and said with some envy.

I still have a place for my natal spirit beast. I wonder if it is possible to contract such a huge creature. Then I will have no problem raising a spirit beast on its back.

"If you want it, the Spirit Beast Hall in our Wanshou Gate sells Tongtian Kun." Lin Jiu said temptingly.

"I do." Chen Jiuge nodded without hesitation.

"Tongtian Kun is a variant of Peng Kun. Although it doesn't have the same powerful combat power as Peng Kun, it has a gentle personality and a large body, making it one of the favorite spirit beasts of farming-based cultivators. With the average annual rate of five thousand merits earned by inner disciples, if Junior Brother Chen wants to go to the Spirit Beast Palace to exchange for a Tongtian Kun cub, it will take at least five hundred years, and he cannot use merits during this period." Zhen Yan said mercilessly.

"Five hundred years seems possible." Chen Jiuge felt like there was hope when he heard it. After all, unlike the Nascent Soul in the novels of his previous life who lived for a thousand years, the normal lifespan of the Nascent Soul in this world was about three thousand years. The natal spirit beast that had made a contract with the fundamental law of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect could also share a small part of the spirit beast's lifespan, so it was very easy to live an extra five thousand years.

"The minimum daily consumption to ensure the healthy growth of a Tongtian Kun cub is over 100 merit points, which is around 300 spirit stones," Zhen Yan added.

Chen Jiuge's mouth twitched when he heard that and said, "So many?" "Hahaha, Junior Brother Chen, don't think about it now. If you don't believe it, you can go ask the Third Elder's disciple, Senior Sister Wen Ruo. Senior Sister Wen is the only person on Baicao Peak who has raised a Kun, and it's the Seven-Star Kun, which is more powerful than the Tongtian Kun." Lin Jiu laughed.

"Senior Sister Wen has Kun!" Chen Jiuge had the idea of ​​currying favor with her as soon as he heard it, "Is the rich woman hungry?"

He shook his head, got rid of the dirty thoughts in his mind, and smiled bitterly: "I still don't want to think about it."

During this gap, Zhenyan had already bought the boat ticket.

"Three superior rooms, one of the ten supreme spirits, merit or spirit stone?" Zhen Yan handed over the token for boarding the ship.

"Spirit stones, spirit stones." Chen Jiuge hurriedly handed out ten high-quality spirit stones, and Lin Jiu immediately followed.

The cabin was located in the big mouth of Tongtian Kun. Chen Jiuge, who was experiencing this for the first time, was actually very excited. He wanted to stroll around the ship and broaden his horizons. Unfortunately, Senior Sister Zhen, who always followed the rules, put the mission first and asked the three of them to stay in the room for the next few days. It was their first mission, and Chen Jiuge didn't want to cause any trouble, so he could only stay in the room obediently.

In the evening, Lin Jiu knocked on Chen Jiuge's door and said, "Junior brother, can I come sit with you for a while?"

Chen Jiuge naturally would not refuse.

Lin Jiu poured two glasses of clear white wine from the wine gourd and said, "Junior brother, don't think that Junior Sister Zhen is making a fuss."

"Brother, I don't think so." Chen Jiuge shook his head. It was his first time on a mission, so it was better to be cautious and gain some experience. He could do it anytime.

"Let me tell you a story." Lin Jiu drank the wine glass in his hand.

"Five hundred years ago, Junior Sister Zhen had just entered Baicao Peak. She had the same personality as you, lively and curious. Coincidentally, she was with me on her first mission, but an accident occurred during that mission."

"In that mission, besides me, there were two senior brothers and one senior sister. Because of the cultivation techniques they practiced, those two senior brothers loved brothels the most. Naturally, they didn't take a small escort mission seriously. On the day of the mission, they went to a brothel run by the Hehuan Sect to have fun."

"Who would have thought that the courtesan of that brothel had been replaced by an evil cultivator. By the time the two brothers found out, it was too late. Their essence and blood were drained on the spot. When the evil cultivator found out that he had killed a disciple of the Myriad Beast Sect, he became terrified and went all out to kill us. At that time, I had not yet entered the Spiritual Transformation stage, and Junior Sister Zhen was only in the early Nascent Soul stage. The evil cultivator was only one step away from returning to the Void."

"For my junior sister and I, my senior sister, who was in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage, was the only one who held back the evil cultivator by herself."

Lin Jiu took a big gulp of wine and said, "When Junior Sister Zhen and I called for support from the sect, Senior Sister was already dead. She was also insulted and had her blood drained. This alarmed the elders in the peak, and the True Immortals took action. The evil cultivator was naturally dead, but Senior Sister still couldn't come back."

"Because of the personal preferences of my two brothers, we provoked an evil cultivator who shouldn't have appeared during the mission, which led to my sister's death. I'm fine, but I sometimes hate myself for having such a poor cultivation. But Sister Zhen was too stimulated and her personality became like this, so don't blame your sister Zhen, she was doing it for your own good."

"It is difficult to cultivate immortality, and it is even more difficult to become an immortal. The number of people who died on the road to becoming an immortal is enough to fill the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Domain. Let's encourage each other, fellow apprentice brothers." Lin Jiu bowed and left in a lonely mood.

There weren't many descriptions in the little story told by Lin Jiu, not even a little bit specific, but Chen Jiuge still understood that when one is away from home, the identity of a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect can be a protective umbrella or a death warrant, and one should not think that he can do whatever he wants based on this identity.

"But I'm not that kind of person. If inner disciples didn't have to complete at least three escort missions or one garrison mission every ten years, I wouldn't want to go out at all." Chen Jiuge sighed.
